International Conference of Labour and Social History (ITH)

52nd ITH Conference 2016 "Commodity Chains and Labour Relations" - International Conference of Labour and Social History

Location:

Steyr, Upper Austria, Museum Arbeitswelt Steyr, Austria

Subject:

The conference aims to empirically investigate labour relations in commodity chains in their diversity and combination and, thus, also aims to contribute to the conceptual debate on work and labour, value, the functioning of capitalism and the agency or lack of power of directly and indirectly involved producers. On the one hand, it is of central interest to what extent and how working conditions, labour relations and work experiences in particular locations have influenced the formation of product chains. On the other hand, the impact of the involvement in such product chains on labour relations and workers in the particular locations will be explored.[gem?_?? den Informationen des Anbieters - according to site editor's information]
